Duke Researchers Lead Review Addressing Algorithmic Bias

A group of authors led by Duke’s Michael Cary, PhD, RN, has published a scoping review devoted to issues of algorithmic bias in healthcare. The article surveys a broad range of applications, frameworks, reviews, and perspective articles addressing ways to mitigate bias in algorithms used to guide clinical decision-making, particularly in the context of proposed federal regulations prohibiting algorithmic discrimination in healthcare. The review, published in a special issue of the journal Health Affairs that examines structural racism in healthcare, includes coauthors from Duke including Michael Pencina, PhD, Nicoleta Economou, PhD, and Sophia Bessias, MPH, MSA, as well as coauthors from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of California, Berkeley.
